Lido Finance has announced it will be effectively discontinuing its staking service on Polygon. According to a Dec. 16 blogpost, the decision was reached after an extensive decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) forum discussion and a community vote with the majority of Lido token holders voting to end Lido operations on Polygon.

As part of the process, stMATIC holders will immediately stop receiving network rewards and users can unstake their MATIC through the Lido on Polygon frontend until June 16, 2025. After June 16, 2025, withdrawals will remain possible but only through explorer tools.

Shard Labs made the initial idea for Lido (LDO) on Polygon in 2021. Although, it began with high expectations, Lido on Polygon experienced significant challenges with limited user adoption, inadequate rewards, resource-intensive maintenance needs, and changing ecosystem dynamics.

The changing nature of decentralized finance (defi) activity has been a major obstacle, especially with the growing emphasis on zkEVM solutions. Lido’s potential as a fundamental defi building element on Polygon has been impacted by this shift which has decreased demand for liquid staking solutions on Polygon.

These series of events along with the recent governance decisions by LDO token holders’ to strategically concentrate on Ethereum has contributed to Lido’s shutdown on Polygon.
